Each document for inclusion in the Biblio-Santé thematic booklets is evaluated with impartiality, based on Librarianship practices in place in public libraries, using various general selection criteria. First, the booklets are carefully designed to primarily meet the needs and interests of health system users and caregivers. Every title is evaluated according to relevance and quality of its content for the general public, in the Quebec context. If of equal value, Quebec materials are always preferred. The credibility and reputation of the author, creator, illustrator, publisher or producer are also of great importance. Furthermore, special attention is given to the timeliness and long-term relevance of the subject as well as the accuracy of the information. With regard to documentaries, works by health professionals (doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.) are given preference. However, titles based on lay or experiential knowledge are not rejected outright, especially those involving support by a caregiver. Finally, each thematic booklet is considered as a whole in order to respect the diversity of the topics covered and allow for a balanced presentation of viewpoints. For more information on the selection criteria for Biblio-Santé, please visit bibliosante.ca/criteria CAREGIVERS BOOKLET This booklet is complementary to all booklets of the Biblio-Santé Program. It highlights useful resources to support caregivers.
